78-19883-01

Chapter 4 Turn Up a NodeNTP- F133 Set Up Date, Time, and Contact Information

If you do not use an SNTP or NTP server, complete the Date and Time fields. The ONS 15600 SDH will use these fields for alarm dates and times. By default, CTC displays all alarms in the CTC computer time zone for consistency. To change the display to the node time zone, complete the “DLP-F198 Display Events Using Each Node’s Time Zone” task on page 16-56.

Note Using an NTP or SNTP server ensures that all ONS 15600 SDH network nodes use the same date and time reference. The server synchronizes node time after power outages or software upgrades.

If you check the Use NTP/SNTP Server check box, complete the following fields:

– Use NTP/SNTP Server—Type the IP address of the primary NTP/SNTP server connected to the ONS 15600 SDH or of another ONS 15600/15454/15310-MA SDH as GNE with NTP/SNTP enabled that is connected to the ONS 15600 SDH ENE.

– Backup NTP/SNTP Server—Type the IP address of the secondary NTP/SNTP server connected to the ONS 15600 SDH or of another ONS 15600/15454/15310-MA SDH as GNE with NTP/SNTP enabled that is connected to the ONS 15600 SDH ENE.

When the primary NTP/SNTP server fails or is not reachable, the node uses the secondary NTP/SNTP server to synchronize its date and time. If both the primary and secondary NTP/SNTP servers fail or are not reachable, an SNTP-FAIL alarm is raised. The node checks for the availability of the primary or secondary NTP/SNTP server at regular intervals until it can get the time from any one of the NTP/SNTP servers. After the node gets the time from any one server, it synchronizes its date and time with the server’s date and time and the SNTP-FAIL alarm is cleared. For each retry and resynchronization, the node checks the availability of the primary NTP/SNTP server first, followed by the secondary NTP/SNTP server. The node synchronizes its date and time every hour.

Note You will not be able to identify which NTP/SNTP server is being used for synchronization.

If you check Gateway Network Element (GNE) for the ONS 15600 SDH SOCKS proxy server (see the “DLP-F185 Provision IP Settings” task on page 16-36), external ONS 15600 SDHs must reference the gateway ONS 15600 SDH for NTP/SNTP timing. For more information about the ONS 15600 SDH gateway settings, refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Reference Manual.

Note In ONS 15600 Software Release 9.0 and later, you can configure an IPv6 address for an NTP/SNTP server, in addition to an IPv4 address.

Caution If you reference another ONS 15600 SDH for the NTP/SNTP server, make sure the second ONS 15600 SDH references an NTP/SNTP server and not the first ONS 15600 SDH (that is, do not create an NTP/SNTP timing loop by having two ONS 15600 SDHs reference each other).

• Date—If Use NTP/SNTP Server is not selected, enter the current date in the format mm/dd/yyyy, for example, September 24, 2002 is 09/24/2002.

• Time—If Use NTP/SNTP Server is not selected, enter the current time in the format hh:mm:ss, for example, 11:24:58. The ONS 15600 SDH uses a 24-hour clock, so 10:00 PM is entered as 22:00:00.

• Time Zone—Click the field and choose a city within your time zone from the drop-down list. The menu displays the 80 World Time Zones from –11 through 0 (GMT) to +14. Continental United States time zones are GMT-05:00 (Eastern), GMT-06:00 (Central), GMT-07:00 (Mountain), and GMT-08:00 (Pacific).

Step 4 Click Apply.

Step 5 In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes.

Step 6 Review the node information. If you need to make corrections, repeat Steps 3 through 5 to enter the corrections. If the information is correct, continue with the “NTP-F135 Set Up CTC Network Access” procedure on page 4-7.


NTP-F134 Set Power Monitor Thresholds

Step 1 Complete the “DLP-F181 Log into CTC” task on page 16-32 at the node where you want to set power monitor thresholds. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.

Step 2 In node view, click the Provisioning > General > Power Monitor tabs.

Step 3 To change the extreme low battery voltage threshold in 0.5 VDC increments, choose a voltage from the ELWBATVG(Vdc) drop-down list.

Step 4 To change the extreme high battery voltage threshold in 0.5 VDC increments, choose a voltage from the EHIBATVG(Vdc) drop-down list.

Step 5 Click Apply.


Purpose This procedure provisions extreme high and extreme low input battery power thresholds within a –48 VDC environment. When the thresholds are crossed, the TSC generates warning alarms in CTC. You must have a CAP2 installed to be able to set power thresholds.

Step 2 If you want to turn on the ONS 15600 secure mode, which allows two IPv4 addresses to be provisioned for the node if TCC2P cards are installed, complete the “NTP-F248 Set Up the ONS 15600 in EMS Secure Access” task on page 4-7. Refer to the “Management Network Connectivity” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Reference Manual for information about secure mode.

Step 3 In Node view, click the Provisioning > Network > FTP Hosts tabs.

Step 4 Click Create.

Step 5 Enter a valid IP address in the FTP Host Address field. A maximum of 12 host can be entered.

Note In ONS 15600 Software Release 9.0 and later, you can configure an IPv6 address for an FTP server, in addition to an IPv4 address.

Step 6 The Mask is automatically set according to the Net/Subnet Mask length specified in “DLP-F185 Provision IP Settings” task on page 16-36. To change the Mask, click the Up/Down arrows on the Length menu.

Step 7 Check the FTP Relay Enable radio button to allow FTP commands at the GNE relay. If you will enable the relay at a later time, go to Step 9. Certain TL1 commands executed on an ENE require FTP access into the Data Communication Network (DCN), the FTP relay on the GNE provides this access. The FTP hosts that you have configured in CTC can be used with the TL1 COPY-RFILE (for database backup and restore or software download) or COPY-IOSCFG (for Cisco IOS Configuration File backup and restore) commands.

Step 8 Enter the time, in minutes, that FTP Relay will be enabled. A valid entry is a number between 0 and 60. The number 0 disallows FTP command relay. After the specified time has elapsed the FTP Relay Enable flag is unset and FTP command relay is disallowed.

Step 9 Click OK.

Chapter 4 Turn Up a NodeNTP- F138 Create a 1+1 Protection Group

Step 1 Complete the “DLP-F181 Log into CTC” task on page 16-32 at the node where you want to set up timing. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.

Step 2 Complete the “DLP-F188 Set Up External or Line Timing” task on page 16-43 if an external building integrated timing supply (BITS) source is available. This is the common SDH timing setup procedure.

Step 3 If you cannot complete Step 2 (an external BITS source is not available), complete the “DLP-F189 Set Up Internal Timing” task on page 16-45. This task can only provide Stratum 3E timing.

Note For information about SDH timing, refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Reference Manual or to ITU-T G.784.


NTP-F138 Create a 1+1 Protection Group

Step 1 Complete the “DLP-F181 Log into CTC” task on page 16-32 at the node where you want to create the protection group. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.

Step 2 Verify that the STM-N cards are installed.

Step 3 Click the Provisioning > Protection tabs.

Step 4 Click Create.

Step 5 In the Create Protection Group dialog box, enter the following:

• Name—Enter a name for the protection group. The name can have up to 32 alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) characters. Special characters are permitted. For TL1 compatibility, do not use question marks (?), backslash (\), or double quote (“) characters.

• Type—Choose 1+1 (port) from the drop-down list.



Purpose This procedure creates a 1+1 protection group. A 1+1 protection group pairs a working STM-N port with a protect STM-N port. The ports on cards can be either working or protect. You can mix working and protect ports on the same card: any STM-64 port can protect another STM-64 port, and any STM-16 port can protect another STM-16 port. You cannot mix STM-64 and STM-16 ports in protection schemes.


Prerequisite Procedures None





78-19883-01

Chapter 4 Turn Up a NodeNTP- F139 Set Up SNMP

• Protect (Entity) Port—Choose the protect port from the drop-down list. When you choose 1+1 (port) from the Type drop-down list, this field changes from Protect Entity to Protect Port. The list displays the available STM-N ports. If STM-N cards are not installed, no ports appear in the drop-down list.

After you choose the protect port, a list of working ports available for protection appears in the Available Ports list. If no cards are available, no ports appear. If this occurs, you cannot complete this task until you install the physical cards or preprovision the ONS 15600 SDH slots using the “NTP-F122 Preprovision a Card Slot” procedure on page 2-8.

Step 6 From the Available Ports list, choose the working port that will be protected by the port chosen in the Protect Port field. Click the top arrow button to move each port to the Working Ports list.

Step 7 Complete the remaining fields:

• Bidirectional switching—If checked, both the near-end and far-end nodes switch to the designated protection ports. For example, if the near-end node has a loss of signal (LOS) alarm, it switches to the protection port and transmits a switch request to the far-end node to switch to the protection port also. This ensures that both nodes process traffic from the same span.

If the Bidirectional switching check box is not checked, the near-end and far-end nodes switch independently of each other. For example, if the near-end node has an LOS on its working port it switches to the protection port. If the far-end node does not have an LOS, traffic remains on the working port.

• Revertive—Check this check box if you want traffic to revert to the working port after failure conditions stay corrected for the amount of time entered in the Reversion time field.

• Reversion time—If Revertive is checked, click the Reversion time field and choose a reversion time from the drop-down list. The range is 0.5 to 12.0 minutes. The default is 5.0 minutes. Reversion time is the interval between the point when the fault is cleared and the point when the traffic switches to the working port. The reversion timer starts after conditions causing the switch are cleared.

Step 8 Click OK.


NTP-F139 Set Up SNMP

Step 1 Complete the “DLP-F181 Log into CTC” task on page 16-32 at the node where you want to set up SNMP. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
